Did you read the article? They said they conducted searches saturday and sunday as soon as the family reported that he did not return home. How would they know to search before the family knew he was missing?

There is a 24 hour waiting period for the Missing Persons report, that would initiate the search by Saturday morning. The article below clearly reads that the search was promptly initiated. Also, just because the media is covering this today, doesn’t mean that the search was not underway previously. Thank you for your understanding and your willingness to support this search, instead of pointing fingers or asking demeaning questions. All the best to the Captain and the family and praying for the safe return. Stay strong

Mighty spooky. Nelson County too — where that girl went missing last year. Was this guy wrapped up with some bad characters? DId he know something that somebody didn’t want leaked out? It’s surely something along those lines.

The first missing deputy’s vehicle slid on ice and was submerged in a body of water, killing him. This one will probably be a carjacking, robbery, murder. Motive is almost always money. They guy in the picture only resembles victim because he’s an older, pudgy, pale, white male.

Ok but they both happened in within hours not days and not too far from each other so how about this, the men force the first deputy to drive, this deputy is older,wiser and remember his friends and family said he was an excellent driver and the skid marks head right to the creek, so he goes for it slams the gas pedel drives right into the creek, the bad guys drown him, they escape that was Friday morning so they figure it didn’t work the first time so they try it again that night. I know I watch too many detective shows. Thank you for your time.
